Predicting 30-day case fatality of primary inoperable intracerebral hemorrhage based on findings at the emergency department.

Background: Early survival of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) depends on several factors, including the location and size of the hematoma and the level of consciousness on admission. The aim of our study was to estimate the case fatality of primary inoperable ICH 30 days after the event in our hospital and to identify clinical and laboratory characteristics, recordable at the Emergency Department (ED), which could predict death at 30 days.

Methods: Clinical and laboratory data on all patients with primary ICH admitted to our hospital were retrospectively collected.
